Comparison of the p24 ELISA (Vironostika) and Combo test (antigen component) against serially diluted p24 antigen-positive controls.
*<p>Average OD (Optical Density) of two runs. An OD ā„0.10 is considered a positive result.</p
Performance of the Determine Ag/Ab Combo test.
<p>Group 1: Antigen positive, antibody negative acute HIV infection (Ag+Abā).</p><p>Group 2: Antigen positive, antibody positive early HIV infection (Ag+Ab+).</p><p>Group 3: Antigen negative, antibody positive chronic HIV infection (AgāAb+).</p><p>Group 4: Antigen negative, antibody negative volunteers without HIV infection (AgāAbā).</p><p>Group 5: Antigen false positive, antibody negative volunteers without HIV infection (AgāAbā).</p><p>Ag: p24 antigen, Ab: HIV antibody, weak pos: the respective assay indicator was fainter than the control indicator. This is considered āpositiveā in our analyses, as per the package insert.</p
